A lot of Germany, and some of Europe for that matter really don't think much about seeing people using the toilet.

Women cleaners will walk into the men restroom while guys use the urinals, and you hotel bathroom might have see through windows into the rest of the hotel room. It's just not that big of a deal to them.

Probably because they went through generations of just taking buckets of waste and throwing them in the streets. Must numb them to what goes on. America has always been more puritanical about things like this.

The wife and I stayed at an out-of-the-way but fairly luxurious place in Jamaica for our honeymoon, and the toilet was in the corner of the bedroom with a 3-foot partition next to it. Weird to look someone in the eye when you're taking a dump, but we got over it.

Actually, Germany has always been a resource poor country, they have a habit of not wasting anything. In the bad old days shiat was saved for composting, and to put back on the fields.
